Exporting Individual Elements from Revit to AutoCAD as blocks

Hello,

 

I've done a lot of searching for this but haven't found a great solution. I have a Revit model with several Security cameras in it. I want to be able to export a Revit floor plan to AutoCAD, and have each camera show up as a single block in AutoCAD. Currently they just show up as lines with a text "C" in the middle.

 

Has anyone figured out how to pull this off? Whether for cameras or any other element, the basic idea is exporting a family element to CAD as a block. 

 

Thanks so much, I've been completely hitting a wall.

I am not sure what and how you are exporting but Families from Revit are exported as blocks...Considering that the view exports what is captured in it, my first guess would be that the cameras you are using are 2D lines (or an annotation) in Revit and not a family

 

Edit: If your cameras has a 3D element ...You can export the 3D instead and produce your plans in Autocad from a 3D DWG instead

 

Below: First 2 views in the GIF are a plan and a 3D exported to DWG ...the second to views are the the DWG produced from the export...and as you can see, BLOCKS not Lines:

Your security camera has a nested generic annotation symbol (a line with letter C as you said) and this symbol is exported to DWG as line and text. I don't know of any settings to prevent it.

That's exactly right. It looks like I can create model lines on the Ref. Level instead, even though they're a bit more janky. I can play around with it and try to make it work. Thank you! This is the most helpful answer I've seen so far.
